    How difficult is it to take them off? If I ever decide to do it, I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into. Thanks

    The only reason I did remove them is because the one was damaged. And I had detailers at the dealership remove them. So I can't say I know how to remove them.

    They come off easy if you wait till it's really hot. If you do it when it's cold you'll think your fingernails are going to come off before the badge does. On a silver VX you might see the impression of the badge still there because silver paint fades and it'll still be new underneath them.

    When I removed the ISUZU from the rear, it broke into a bunch of little pieces... made it easy for removal.
    But, my question for those who have removed the side Vehicross emblems:
    Did the letters break up/disintegrate during removal, or did they stay intact enough for reuse?
    thanks!

    Mine disintegrated like the rear ones but I've seen people on this board send them to eachother so some people must get them off whole.... I think if it's warm enough it's possible. I did it when it was cold (heck I polished my wheels and headlights yesterday when it was 32º) and almost killed myself getting them off.

    yea leave the vx in the sun for an hour or two on a hot day, i used a thin plastic spatula w/ rounded corners to get under it and peel it up, a light back and forth sawing motion and a litltle patience and i had them off and re-usable, ive got both sets still and thanks to tom one of them is nicely mounted
